Johnson Matthey taps Kebotix’s AI capabilities to enhance digital strategy

Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies and Kebotix, a U.S.-based technology platform company for new chemicals and materials, today announced an agreement to explore developing the next generation of coatings for catalytic converters.

The project will support JM’s digital strategy, and help to bring the London-headquartered company to the forefront of digital R&D. Kebotix’s lab-of-the-future AI capabilities has the potential to enhance JM’s digital transformation in the chemical industry.

The collaboration will seek to discover innovative methods to increase the efficiency of experiments leading to the optimisation of catalytic converter coating formulations. Reducing the number of experiments is expected to lead to faster improvements. Scientists can use the predictions as a virtual catalyst design lab and validate their design choices to avoid spending unnecessary experimental resources on suboptimal designs. The project will employ Kebotix’s ChemOSTM Pro technology, developing machine learning models via the company’s proprietary active learning optimisation algorithms.
